Pretty Girl is dead, Scooter is missing.
Pretty Girl was one of the neighborhood cats. She was firendly with a family that went to Florida for the winter at the beginning of January and would even hang out in their house. She very rarely stoppped by my front door for a feeding and was quite skitish around me but a neighbor was taking care of her and she would sometimes stay overnight in their house. She was outside last Monday and got hit by a car. It is a pretty good life for an outside cat around my neighborhood but cars are a big problem. She was one of the cats that we were able to get fixed. I just found out because I was in Florida for the week and once I got home I was calling around to see if anyone knew where Scooter was. I had taken in Scooter but would let him go out if he wanted to because his girl and kittens are outside. My idiot cat sitter told me he was going to keep Scooter inside but I guess Scooter whined enough to get him to let him out. The idiot subsequently let him in one day and then chased him out because he thought that it wasn't Scooter (he had lost his collar again). So he was outside during the big snow on Thursday/Friday. I haven't seen him since I got back on Saturday but one of my neighbors reports feeding him so I know he's ok. Hopefully I'll get him back in tonight or tomorrow and make a concerted effort to persuade him to give up his roaming ways. Losing Pretty Girl like that was a shock, but I'd really hate to loose Scooter. My other three cats, Espy, Nipsy, and Marlo, don't share my appreciation for Scooter's fine qualities however. |

We just don't have enough homes for all these cats. It really isn't a bad life for them around my neighborhood; the cars are really the only big threat. |
